Matchmaking

«Shannon»

I quickly showered and got dressed. I didn't do as much effort because I knew it wouldn't matter anyways. I made my hair in a messy bun and went with mascara and a bit lip gloss. My clothes consisted of a simple navy blue dress that stopped at mid thigh and pair of pumps.

It felt weird to wear a dress after a long time of jeans and tops but I felt more feminine and pitite for some reason.

I walked downstairs and pulled out my phone. The clock showed 8:43 and I silently thanked Cody for making appointments near each other. Every single appointment made was in the Green Gate Mall about 15 minutes away from my appartment.

Katy skipped down the stairs and smiled.

"I'm ready when you are." She said and I nodded.

"Bye Peter!" I yelled and before I shut the door I heard a faint "See ya later Sil!".

We got into my car and started to drive. Me and Katy made small talk until we arrived at the mall.

We got out and I glanced at my watch. 8:55.

"Where to first?" Katy ask and I take out the list.

"Stephanie's Boutique. My dress." I say and she nods.

We turn the corner and enter the Boutique.

"Welcome, how may I help you?" a young woman asked as we enter the shop filled with a bunch of mannequins wearing all kinds of beautiful dresses. There was a counter and another girl stood there busy with another customer.

"My name is Shannon... I'm supposed to pick up my dress at 9 o'clock." I say and her eyes light up.

"Right. Brb." She says and disappear behind a curtain and then comes back with a dress shaped bag with a note on it.

"The Gentleman said that I should give you this note as well." She says and I smile and thank her.

We walk out and Katy stops.

"Aren't you going to open it?" She asks and I smirk.

"You read my mind." I say and look for the zipper but Katy takes the sticky note and read it aloud.

"I thought you were going to try and open it so just want to say the key to the lock is on your bedside table, enjoy." She says and I see the small lock on the two zippers. Making it impossible to open it.

"Great." I mutter and she laughs.

"Next?" She asks and I take out the list again.

"Shoes at Helana's Shoe shop. 9:15." I read and she nods her head and walk to a shopping cart standing near us. She pushes it towards me and I put the dress carefully in it.

"I think we are going to be tired by the end of that list." She chuckles and I sigh with a nod.

"Yess. Yess we are." I say and make our way to the next shop.

15:09

We have succesfully done all the appointments and made it on time for all of them.

All the clothing items are locked or unable to open and I curse myself for not seeing the keys on my bedside table this morning.

My hair is beautifully done with curls. It looks great and my make up is done perfectly. It's not too dramatic but it's not all natural.

So far I still don't have a clue what my dress look like nor what colour it is but I'm sitting in the passenger seat on the way to my apartment while Katy is driving.

Her dress and everything has been dropped off at my apartment while we were in the mall and her make up and hair is also done when I did mine.

We did our Nails but the girl said that Cody demanded white tips and I have to agree I would have gotten the same.

Katy's hair is done in some kind of messy bun with some hair hanging loose and framing her face which is made up with perfect make up. Her eyes is done with gold eyeshadow and she said her dress is gold and black.

We arrived at the appartment shortly and we got out.

When I grabbed some of the things Katy came and helped me to carry it up to my room.

Alex wasn't home and when I entered my room I saw that Katy's dress and other stuff was placed on my bed neatly. I let mine rest next to hers and looked at the bedside table.

There was indeed a bunch of keys laying there and I grabbed them. I unlocked all of the locks and opened up the thing I was most curious about.

The dress.

I was literally breathless for a second. It was beautiful. There was no words to decribe it's beauty. I was never a big fan of light pink but now it looked more attractive than I've ever seen.

The top of the dress was a soft light pink as it went lower the pink became a light blue and at the bottom it was light blue. The dress was flowing and soft. It was just better than I would have ever imagine.

The shoes was the same colour pink as the top of the dress with here and there small diamonds that shimered in the light. Katy stood and looked at it in awe just like me. Along with the shoes was a clutch made with the same colour material as the shoes.

"Your man has great taste." She says and I nod my head.

He has indeed.

I opened the jewellery and smiled. He knew I wasn't a fan of gold I was much rather a silver type.

I took the delicate pieces one by one and I was amazed. The silver set was just as pretty as the rest of my stuff.

It was plain silver and there was a Purple gem, small but still noticable on all the pieces. There was a necklace, a bracelet and a ring. The Purple went great with the colours of the dress as if it was made to match.

I took off the bands and other things we bought yesterday and placed them on my bedside table along with the clutch.

"Let's get ready!" Katy squealed and I laughed and began getting ready.
